Tinubu, Buhari protested against Jonathan, so they should be protest under Tinubu over hardship – Sheik Gumi

Sheik Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Islamic cleric, has urged Nigerians to engage in peaceful protests as a means of conveying their grievances to the President Bola Tinubu-led government, emphasising that protests are a crucial tool for driving change.

Sheik Gumi who made the remarks in a video clip attached below, emphasised on the importance of peaceful demonstrations while cautioning against the use of violence or incitement.

According to the video which was translated from Hausa to English by SaharaReporters, Sheik Gumi said: “Politicians are very stubborn, it is mass protests that only disturb them.”

Addressing concerns over comparisons with past protests in countries like Sudan, Lebanon, and Liberia, Sheik Gumi highlighted Nigeria’s unique diversity.

“In Sudan and Liberia, the conflicts were like family feuds, which are very dangerous. But Nigeria is different, with diverse ethnicities, religions, cultures, tribes, and sects,” he explained, noting internal tensions even within religious sects like the Izala in Nigeria.

Sheik Gumi expressed optimism that peaceful protests would convey the public’s demand for good governance and development.

“Protest is the only language the government understands,” he asserted, urging authorities to heed the calls for reform and improvement.

Highlighting past political actions, Sheik Gumi criticised the government’s response to protests, contrasting it with previous protests led by current officials.

“In 2015, Muhammadu Buhari and other top All Progressives Congress (APC) officials came out to protest that the previous government had spoiled Nigeria. Then, protest was legal but now it’s illegal,” he pointed out, lamenting the inconsistency in how protests are viewed and treated.

“God willing, the protest will proceed peacefully, and the government must understand and respond positively to the language of protest,” Sheik Gumi concluded, calling for constructive dialogue and meaningful reforms for the benefit of all Nigerians.
